Bible Person
Meaning: God the zealous; the zeal of God · Male · 1 cross reference
This Elkanah entry refers to a Levite ancestor in 1 Chronicles 9 and the father of Asa, not to the court official or gatekeeper figures of the same name. He belongs to the post-exilic Levitical record associated with temple service. First appears in 1 Chr 9:16.1
AI summary: This Elkanah matters because his single cross reference helps carry forward a Levitical family line in restored Jerusalem. Even a brief paternal notice contributes to the continuity of worship leadership after exile. Taken together, the material presents this Elkanah as a familial source within the post-exilic temple community.1
